This public use microdata tape is the first available using Canadian Family Expenditure Survey data. The survey was carried out in February and March 1979 and refers to calendar year 1978. The Survey of Family Expenditures of 1978 is the first of national scope since 1969 and was designed to provide information for families and unattached individuals (spending units) living in private households in all areas of Canada excluding the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Users should note that data on detailed food expenditure for 1978 were collected in a separate survey, see Statistics Canada Catalogue Number 62-548. This survey did not cover the country as a whole but only 16 major regional cities. No public use tape will be made available from this survey.
